With reference to figure 3, in step 300, VLC device 220 performs terminal and finds operation to find to enter by VLC device The mobile terminal of the cell of 220 management.More specifically, VLC device 220 finds the mobile end into visible ray effective coverage End, it is illuminated by the light source of the predetermined number among all light sources for being managed by VLC device 220.
In step 305, VLC device 220 determines whether to have been found that mobile terminal.If not finding mobile terminal, Then after a predetermined time, in step 300, VLC device performs another terminal and finds operation.If it find that movement Terminal, then in the step 310, VLC device 220 by exchange information perform link negotiation operate, so as to the movement found Terminal 230 performs VLC.In step 315, VLC device 220 establishes the communication chain to mobile terminal 230 using the information exchanged Road.
Although describing link connection process with regard to VLC device 220, identical processing can be applied to movement Terminal 230.It is mounted with for example, once entering in the region of headlamp 200, mobile terminal 230, which can then determine whether to exist, appoints What execution VLC's has found VLC device 220.If there is the VLC device 220 having found, then mobile terminal foundation is set to VLC Standby 220 communication link.
When completing link connection, in step 320, mobile terminal 230 is exchanged by data transfer with VLC device 220 Data.
For example, as shown in Figure 4, when mobile terminal 230 is located in visible ray effective coverage 400, VLC device 220 is sent out Show mobile terminal 230 and exchange data with mobile terminal 230 using visible ray.During data exchange, if mobile terminal 230 move along the direction of 410 instructions, then it removes the region managed by VLC device 220.In this case, VLC device 220 The mobile terminal 230 in PD from positioned at the current region for VLC activation receives NACK signal.In the embodiment of the present invention In, using NACK signal as instruction data reception failure response signal an example.NACK signal from receive data The mobile terminal 230 of failure is sent.According to the embodiment of the present invention, NACK signal is used to request 220 activation space of VLC device Mobility functions.On the contrary, according to the embodiment of the present invention, ack signal is used as representing the response signal for normally receiving data.

Reference table 1, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the spatial mobility field of NACK signal frame is used to request VLC and sets Standby 220 activation space mobility functions.That is, mobile terminal 230 ask VLC device 220 change VLC device 220 can Support scope.Version number field represents the Standard Edition of present frame.Secure fields indicate whether to have used security function.ACK plans Slightly field is indicated whether using ACK strategies.The type of the frame used in frame type field instruction VLC, such as beacon/observability/ Confirmation/data/management (beacon/visibility/ack/data/management) frame.Frame sub-type field is according to frame Type is used for the value of the additional function of frame.Field is retried to indicate whether to need to retransmit.DAF destination address field indicates the source of transmitter Address.DAF destination address field indicates the address of receiver.The sequence number of the current PDU of sequence-number field instruction, and the PDU numbers per frame The instruction of mesh field includes the number of PDU in the current frame.Reserved field is reserved for use later.
In step 325, VLC device 220 determines whether to have been received by NACK signal, and if it is, in step Increase is used for the number for sending the light source of data in 330, and as shown in Figure 5.Number of light sources for sending data is pre- Fixed, and VLC device 220 can increase light source step by step according to the number for receiving NACK signal and/or ack signal failure Number.By the number for increasing light source in a manner of step by step, it is seen that light effective coverage 500 is expanded, as shown in Figure 5.This In, it is seen that light effective coverage is the region illuminated by the light source activated.The size of visible ray effective coverage is according to mobile terminal 230 Moving direction and translational speed and change.
In step 335, VLC device 220 determines whether to have been received by ack signal.If it is, VLC device 220 is true Determine mobile terminal 230 to have moved and in visible ray effective coverage 500.Therefore, in step 345, VLC device 220 Visible ray effective coverage 500 is changed based on the position for receiving ack signal.
Hereafter, in step 350, it is otherwise square unless answering the request of VLC device 220 or mobile terminal 230 to terminate connection Method returns to step 320.
The visible ray effective coverage 500 shown in Fig. 5 is changed into the current location with mobile terminal 230 as shown in Figure 6 Corresponding visible ray effective coverage 600, that is, it is seen that light effective coverage is extended simultaneously based on the position for receiving ack signal And illuminated by the light source of initial predetermined number.In addition, the size of visible ray effective coverage can be according to the movement of mobile terminal 230 Direction and translational speed and change.
VLC device 220 knows the position for the PD for having been received by ack signal, and the location determination for being hereby based on PD is covered Cover area, that is, it is seen that light effective coverage 600.
If not yet receiving ack signal in step 335, in step 340 to receiving ack signal and/or NACK The number of Signal Fail is counted, to determine whether received ack signal and/or NACK signal failure n times.
If the number of failure is less than N, VLC device 220 gradually increases the number of light source in a step 330.But such as Fruit receives ack signal and/or NACK signal and fails n times in step 340, then the position of mobile terminal 230 is not yet tested Measure.Therefore, VLC device 220 performs another terminal and finds and repeat subsequent operation in step 300.
More specifically, if receiving ack signal and/or NACK signal, unsuccessfully n times, VLC device 220 will be mobile Terminal 230 is considered as the region for having moved out and being supported by VLC device 220, and therefore, repeats the discovery behaviour to another terminal Make.
For example, as shown in Figure 7, if the direction that mobile terminal 230 is indicated with arrow 710 is moved, it is fully removed Visible ray effective coverage 700, causes to receive the failure of both whole ack signals and NACK signal by VLC device 220.
Fig. 8 is to show mobility according to an embodiment of the invention, for supporting mobile terminal by varying sector Method flow chart.In fig. 8, before step 800, perform it is being represented by ' A ', with the step 300 of Fig. 3 to 315 identical The step of.But because these steps are described above, Fig. 8 will be illustrated starting at from step 800 below.
With reference to figure 8, in step 800, VLC device 220 performs VLC, such as transmits data to visible ray effective coverage In mobile terminal 230.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 9, the management of VLC device 220 forms headlamp Light source, such as the electronic data display in sector location, wherein each sector includes the light source of predetermined number, for example, 4 Light source.VLC device 220 and the mobile terminal 230 at least one visible ray effective coverage illuminated in by multiple sectors Perform VLC.
When mobile terminal 230 is located in the visible ray effective coverage 900 illuminated by sector, as shown in figure 9, mobile terminal 230 exchange data with VLC device 220.But if mobile terminal 230 is moved along the direction that arrow 910 indicates, it is mobile whole End 230 removes visible ray effective coverage 900.VLC device 220 is from the movement in the PD in addition to visible ray effective coverage 900 Terminal 230 receives NACK signal.
Therefore, in step 805, it is determined whether have been received by NACK signal.If it is, in step 807, VLC Equipment 220 is determined whether there is from mobile terminal 230 to activation space mobility functions based on the NACK signal received Request, for example, by reference to table 1.VLC device 220 checks MAC headers.If by checking that MAC headers determine that there are space Mobility is asked, then VLC device 220 is set the sector of activation in view of the movement of mobile terminal 230.In such case Under, ack signal and/or NACK signal can be received in the PD of current sector according to the movement of mobile terminal 230, but also may be used It can send along (unintended) direction outside being intended to, and thus be received in the PD of nearby sectors.Therefore, if received NACK signal do not indicate spatial mobility ask, then user may mistakenly be provided with terminal 230 direction, and Thus NACK signal may be received in another sector.
In step 809, VLC device 220 detects the position of mobile terminal 230.More specifically, light source manager 224 The position of the initial sector belonging to mobile terminal 230 is known from the source address field of the MAC headers of the NACK signal received.
